They were never banned. Some cosmetic features were banned such as flash suppressors, bayonet lugs, barrels threaded to accept a silencer, and folding stocks.
The basic rifles were manufactured and sold throughout the entire period. |

AR: ie; America's Rifle, a very functional semi-auto handy for follow up shots on coyote and use in sporting events. Easily adaptable so that a husband and wife on the same shooting squad can trade the 1 AR rifle with each other. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
